Anybody tried this as an alternative/supplement to grounding kit?

Boy, small world. I guess about every Z owner in the country is a member of this board, so why shouldn't someone from the outfit testing this gizmo be? I gotta give 'em props for being so willing to send out a unit for independent testing by a trusted member here and to Jesseenglish for willing to do it all. Should be interesting. You guys get stuff done!

the only thing I don't understand is how they get 3 phases from a DC circuit? There is no sine wave in DC circuit flow. Is this thing based on an inverter?
Other than that I have seen worse coined terms for components than "adder/subtracter" used by GE and similar companies.
If simply a mo betta voltage regulator than why don't they just say that.

Interesting. Seems to be some sort of a power conditioner. Lots of high-end audio users use power conditioners on their audio equipment, to filter unwanted ranges of frequencies in the current.
Of course it won't work on a diesel, there's no electric ignition on a diesel.

So count me in Jesse, I just need help with the install, ect. I'll be more than happy to fork over the $, if it indeed does what is says.

LOL,
This is an the funniest electronic joke for cars yet. I have a BS in EE and an AS in CE and this is at the most some form of power conditioner. I would love to see the guts of this baby.
I also was in sales for about 5 years. This is what i think. It takes alot of ******** to sell ********. Look at how much mumbo jumbo tech terms they try to throw into one sentence. Also, all of a sudden someone finds this thing, then it just so happens the company finds this post out of how many forums?
I can't wait for the results of this thing.

At any rate, there's no sence nocking it as they are willing to send a unit out to Jesseenglish for testing. We'll have the truth soon enough.

I just wanted to address the statement :
"Also, all of a sudden someone finds this thing, then it just so happens the company finds this post out of how many forums?"
I check my logs often to see where people that visit the DPS page on AF are coming from. This thread URL appeared in the logs more than once so I checked it out.

Reporting back as I promised Brian will have some results today
He has not written his full review of the product yet, but here is what he has provided me with so far:
He has not written his full review of the product yet, but here is what he has provided me with so far:
Notice the almost identical power curves (the DPS peaked out an average of about 1.5-2 hp higher than without it over 8 runs), contrasted against the small but clear advantage it showed at virtually all RPM in accelerating the dyno rollers. This is real world performance, this is smoothness and increased revability that doesn't always show through in power output numbers.

Based on the web page I would say this is thing belongs in the same trash can as the Tornado and the gas line magnets.
If, by some chance, this thing does work, then they REALLY need to fire the clown who wrote the web page and write a web page that REALLY describes what it is and how it works.
At BEST it is a power conditioner, possibly just a capacitor. However, batteries have their own signficant capacitance, so even that would be of little value for normal operation. (capacitors are only required for high current operation like a high power stereo hitting a bass note).
I will wait for the test, but my prediction: BS

Exactly right, your battery is a huge capacitor. It aids in taking the messy AC from you alternator thats coverted into DC and helps smooth it out to get rid of some of the ripple produced when coverting AC to DC. Aftermarket caps for audio are great since they can reside right next to the to feed it the required bursts of current it needs instead of asking for it all the way up front at the battery which may be near its limit as it is. The battery in this car is very small compared to what I am used to. I currently own a Intrepid and i think i am using a group 27 battery in there right now.
